Tzatziki

This is the perfect accompaniment for Falafel (one of our absolute favorites!), Chicken Gyros or Veggie Gyros. I personally love Tzatziki and also use it as a salad dressing or for raw veggies. It's quick to throw together and can be made ahead.

Directions:1. Place the yogurt in a fine mesh strainer and allow to drain for at least one hour to rid of any excess moisture. Grate the cucumber or finely mince and also place in a fine mesh strainer or a paper towel-lined colander. Sprinkle the cucumber with salt to drain any excess water - drain for at least one hour.

2. Combine drained yogurt and cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with additional chives and dill if desired.
